Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: HardeePlank (was Consensus in cohousing)

[Diane Simpson (coho]

Hi Peg et al!

The comment about the HardeePlank caught my eye because that's what 
we're planning to use. Our contractor claims we can save 32-45K by 
using 3/4 red cedar siding. Has anyone else who's used HardeePlank 
found it to be cheaper than cedar? What are some of the maintenance 
trade-offs?

Thanks for any advice you can give!
